A Fluffernutter is a sandwich made with peanut butter and marshmallow cream, usually served on white bread. The term fluffernutter has also been used to describe other foods that feature peanut butter and marshmallow cream, including Fluffernutter cookies, bars and cupcakes.

I have been planning on making pumpkin spice crispy treats for you, and what better day than today??

I mixed the marshmallow cream, pumpkin, pumpkin spice, and peanut butter together and melted it until smooth in a saucepan.

It doesn’t look too appetizing yet, but just wait!! Next, I mixed in the crispy rice cereal…..

I flattened half of the cereal mix into a 10 x 10 pan…..and then I spread a layer of oatmeal cookie dough on top. (Yes, I said cookie DOUGH!!)

Finally, I layered the rest of the cereal mix on top and sprinkled it with chocolate jimmies!

*EDIT: Because of the oil in the peanut butter and the moisture in the pumpkin these start to soften after a day. The texture gets slightly chewy.

(On a side note, the book that I adapted this recipe from is FABULOUS!! I ran out and grabbed it the day it came out, and made the Chocolate Cookie Dough Truffles……drool worthy! Definitely give it a try!)

These are a bit softer than the traditional Rice Crispy treats. I’m sure that using marshmallows would firm them up a little bit if you would like a crispier consistency.
